Informative at first then rushed towards the end

The museum and statues were interesting and then the guided two section room was over crowded and our tour guides voice was lost when the other group joined the room. Although he was asked to speak up, he didn't do so and it was a shame because the last part was a waste of time.

Very informative in regards to the witch trials. At the beginning, you sit and follow the narrative around the room as the wax figure display scenes light up.
